Jeong Cheol-woong: Chieftains and state power in the Huguang ethnic minority region during the Ming and Qing dynasties, 1368–1735

It has often been said that our studies in China have risen dramatically compared with other countries. There may be some deviations, depending on the field of science, research and interest, but it's not a big deal to say that the study of Chinese history has reached a very shallow and political level in comparison with the previous. But there are still areas where the researcher's hand is not yet out of reach, and research on Chinese minorities is one of those main areas. The main purpose of the book is to draw attention to the step-by-step studies of Chinese minority peoples in the country. The history of the Chinese minority, enshrouded in the shadow of the Han tribe, is itself an intriguing subject. Nevertheless, despite the severity of the existence of the Chinese minority, it has been described only in a very negative way that it has not played its part in the historical stage. Is the existence of a minority really so small that it can't even be said to be so insignificant? Once they didn't end up with their own country, and many of them were assimilated into one family. But the history of the Chinese minority was dynamic. A study of minorities is based on this dynamic history of minority peoples themselves. Their economic institutions, family relationships, regimes, life and customs, languages, contacts with merchants and common peoples, their specific patterns, social changes — all of which are inexorable diversity in the history of the minority.
